WiFi System

It’s very unclear what your problem is. The most important question: If you’re hardwired to your Ethernet jack (where the internet in the house comes in), is the internet reliable? If no, investigate different providers. Sonic or MonkeyBrains are probably the best in SF, if they’re available to you.

For those not interested in a wall of text. TL;DR:After years of unreliable performance with smart home devices—including disconnecting speaker groups, Nest cameras dropping, and general network instability—you replaced your Nighthawk + extender setup with Nest WiFi Pro, only for it to get even wors

It's strange that people have polar opposite experiences with Google's Wifi routers, something is going on My Nest Wifi has been solid for 5 years I had it, though it is a single unit, no mesh.

Exactly. I also remember when Chromecast would just work, and now it's a gamble of whether it will or won't, and it usually doesn't work at all now. It won't detect the casting device and won't stop losing the connection when it eventually finds it. And then they introduced the Google TV Streamer wi

Yeah I solved the constant dropouts with Google WiFi/nest WiFi by switching to Ubiquiti

I'm pretty sure Google is deliberately enshittifying their old products to force you to upgrade. I had a 2 node nest wifi plus 1 node from the 1st gen google wifi and it worked great for many years. Then in the past 2 years the 2nd nest point (the one with the speaker) started really flaking out on

I had purchased mine and gave it 6-months and it was the worst decision/purchase, tech wise, I have made. Luckily, I had a great customer service rep at a box store, and she provided me store credit, and I purchased a different system and have had zero issues since. Almost every post I’ve seen about

I'm finally giving up and getting rid of my Google nest wifi. Had it for 4 years. In the last 5 months one, if not both, access points have been going offline/turning off and needing resets. It got to the point I'd reset it every couple hours then have to reboot the entire system. I even got the poi

OK, well I highly recommend that you dive in when you do have some time and mental space. In that case, if you're an iPhone user, I'd go down the Apple home route, possibly sprinkling in some Amazon echo devices for voice control since Siri is such a dungheap and definitely using one of the mesh sys

I know what you're saying, and you're not wrong. This was kind of a financial decision. I ended up using a gift card I had to buy some 2.5Gig network stuff (so essentially free) and built out an OPNSense router to go in front of the Google Wifi. Now the Wifi is back to stable because it's only conne
